Neo Turf Masters - Baden (NeoGeo) Speedrun by Xiaopang 1/2

This is part 1 of my tool-assisted speedrun for one of the greatest golf simulations ever: Neo Turf Masters for NeoGeo. If you don't know what a tool-assisted speedrun is, google it before leaving stupid comments! For further information, refer to the subtitles.

You put on a clinic here- brilliant shot after brilliant shot. I am a bit surprised you did not do this with the other three courses. I would think you could tear them up with similar tactics as well in rather short times, too. I don't know if you ever tried to speed run them, though.

I remember this game, I used to play it in arcades in the 90s but I was nowhere near as good as you are.

[Xiaopang3333]

@jay377777: I did indeed. At least I tried. When I finished this run, I immediately tried the next course, but the emulator was too unstable back then and the run went out of synch after only a few seconds. I tried it again a month ago, but the new version of the emu crashes on me on most of my machines, so it's still not stable enough. Since there's no other emu available to TAS NeoGeo games, it'll take a while till I can deal with the other courses. I'd sure love to do it now, though.

[jay377777]

@Xiaopang3333 I wonder if you could contact the emulator's developer with the details of your crashes- as much as you can give him. Software developers often like that for info like that could help them stabilize their products.

Also you could post videos of a few or even one hole of the other courses. I am not sure if anyone has videos of Japan or America on here.

thanks

@jay377777: I did contact him and arrogant replies were all I received, so I refuse to support the devver.

Posting vids of single holes is too much work and no fun at all. Judging by the few views this run has gotten so far, single runs wouldn't get much attention. The effort however of dealing with all the crashes and synching problems, encoding the videos, uploading and maintaining them for a handful of views is just too much a waste of my time. A full TAS is still on my checklist, though.

Well done. Supreme quality and that was topped with the great commentary. It feels much more entertaining when you can understand, once and for all, what was being done in a TAS.

[Xiaopang3333]

@Dyne: Thanks a lot. Nice to see that you liked the action and the commentary :)

ON THE GWEEEN!

oh yeah, when you check out his profile you can see a photoshopped pic of him...not very clearly, but he looks like a fat fuck

[ErnieBolding]

This game is absolutely beautiful!

[egg64]

OMG THE HACKS.. LOL, and you're absolutely right. This is one of the best golf games ever made, arcade or console.

[noooly]

well i can finish all courses on 1 credit but par -33 says there's always room to improve :]]

[HSimon1981]

How many albatross's do you see on this game?

[DanAdamKOF]

You are an enormous fan to do such a thing. I love KOF (check my name) but NTM is probably my most favorite cartridge I have :). I love your commentary, you have a very insightful deconstruction of the game! I love how you explain the whole issue with the roughness of the game making it impossible to make a hole in a certain amount of shots.

Beautiful!

@mkinitcpio That is because the same company who did Metal Slug did this game. I like the voice acting in this game as well as the ones in Metal Slug 1 and 2.

Neo (intro sound) Geo

[giunkolo]

A lot of luck, enormous holes and windy wheater :)

[mkinitcpio]

Why does this game reminds me of Metal Slug?

[AlphaT0kairu]

the american is the "young hero"...

does that mean he has nothing going for him? lol
